Title: My experience of pool mining using CPU for win 32-bit
Post by: JWKY on January 17, 2018, 06:59:51 AM
Any guide available for setting & doing pool mining?
If no, any expert kind enough to share the experience here for me?

what mining software used for differ algo? how to do setting point to pool?  ???

I try with some reference before but failed. (create & execute mine.bat then click minerd.exe but only flash and gone, nothing happend)  ???

Update (18 Jan 2018):

I use scrypt cpuminer from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.0
and finally with the code: minerd --url=stratum+tcp://myminingpool.com:3333 --userpass=wallet:password
run bat file successful

I need neoscrypt, cryptonight win 32-bit version cpuminer file. thanks.


Update (19 Jan 2018):
to mine cryptonight coin
Finally I found xmrig.exe from https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig  download -->  https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases
and with the code: xmrig.exe --url=stratum+tcp://myminingpool.com:3333 --userpass=wallet:password
run bat file successful
but it got 5% donation =.=

Additional info -> I add code behind to limit cpu to 50%: --threads=1

Before start determine what the coin you want mine, it depend from your hardware, right choose better profit.
Then find pools for your coin. All setup information avialable on this pools.
If you very new in this use automatic pools like nicehash minergate, while you learn pool setting

maybe cannot, since I prefer join new coin (scrypt, neoscrypt, cryptonight)

this post I also hope can benefit for newbie to know how get into pool mining

If you are has been created a bat file, you don't need to click an executable file (in your case minerd.exe). The bat file will call minerd.exe with all setting parameter that you created on it. So, what you need to do is double click the bat file that you has created.

Please paste here your bat file, you can remove some important info, so we can help you to resolve your problems. Your OP post too general, your bat file will give us specifically info what causes that problems.

bat file I do according to pool given code should be ok? win 32-bit problem?

any cpuminer? now I use scrypt miner only.

did you run it success or not?
some one mention to me that usually the miner run in 64-bit computer.

anymore comment or advise or better way to do cpu mining for win 32-bit?

so far I'm doing 2 cryptonight mining only, stop mining scrypt due to no good coin to mine

Interesting information, too bad I don't have merit to give you
Hope I can do cpu mining smoothly with you guides

I am confused about what this thread is about.  If you want to CPU mine just get intense coin or fonero wallet.  They have CPU miner built in or get nicehash?

I think the most detailed mining thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2345911.0
You can take a look and this will help you choose your mining app.

I am also using Xmrig for mining using CryptoNight algorithm, maybe I can help.
First you need to download the correct file, choose the 32bit version (ends with win32) from here: https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases

You should have 3 files:
  • config.json
  • start.bat
  • xmrig.exe

The important part is the config.json file (read the comments in it too):
Code:
{
    "algo": "cryptonight",  // cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite
    "av": 0,                // algorithm variation, 0 auto select
    "background": false,    // true to run the miner in the background
    "colors": true,         // false to disable colored output    
    "cpu-affinity": null,   // set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask "0x3" for cores 0 and 1
    "cpu-priority": 2,   // set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest)
    "donate-level": 1,      // donate level, mininum 1%
    "log-file": null,       // log all output to a file, example: "c:/some/path/xmrig.log"
    "max-cpu-usage": 85,    // maximum CPU usage for automatic mode, usually limiting factor is CPU cache not this option.  
    "print-time": 60,       // print hashrate report every N seconds
    "retries": 5,           // number of times to retry before switch to backup server
    "retry-pause": 5,       // time to pause between retries
    "safe": false,          // true to safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
    "threads": 3,        // number of miner threads corresponds to the number of cores you CPU has, recommended 3 for quad core processors
    "pools": [
{
            "url": "<your_pool_address>",   // URL of mining server or: etn.fairhash.org:3333
            "user": "<your_wallet_address>",                        // username for mining server
            "pass": "x",                       // password for mining server, usually "x" or ""
            "keepalive": true,                 // send keepalived for prevent timeout (need pool support)
            "nicehash": true                  // enable nicehash/xmrig-proxy support
        }
    ],
    "api": {
        "port": 0,                             // port for the miner API https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/wiki/API
        "access-token": null,                  // access token for API
        "worker-id": null                      // custom worker-id for API
    }
}

After you configure this file to use the wallet & pool you want( by replacing "<your_wallet_address>"  & "<your_pool_address>" with yours) you open start.bat.
That's it :)

Let me know if you have any questions on it :)

ETN mining... will be good..use easyhash.io as mining pool. I have the CPU 32 BIT... weekly.. you will get 10 ETN..
